The China Youth Girls' team is
composed of players from seven provinces iN China. The average
age is 16 and average height is 183cm.
Most of the players in the team participated in the Asian Youth
Girls' Volleyball Championship in Thailand, which China won.
Ma Xiaoying, No 4, is a very gifted player with distinguished
characteristics of overall technical ability. She was awarded
the title of Best Server at the Asian Championshiop.

Xiaoying will be one of many in the Chinese team who will be
dominant come serve time or when operating at the net. With
their great height, China will be tough to beat and they head
into the tournament as one of the favourites.

New captain Yang Yanan has a lot
to do to channel her monster team to the same level of success
they achieved at the Asian Championship - 1st place.
